Coach Roper of Princeton kept backs Slagle and Bridges sitting on the bench beside him lest they get hurt before the Harvard game this week, but he sent Dignan against Swarthmore, knowing well that if Dignan were not there to punt, if Dignan were not there to throw passes, hit the line, and tackle, his team might make a poor showing. Dignan did well. Score: Princeton 19, Swarthmore 7. Harvard managed to beat William and Mary though there were Boston "townies"* who left the stands loudly insisting that Mary had played the whole game-that if William...
Harvard broke into the victory column the following autumn. The Crimson entered the game the under-dog, but soon proved its worth. When in the third period one of Cordingley's long punts hit the leg of a Princeton back, combs fell on the ball, and a moment later Piaffman entered the game and came through with a field goal. A safety in the closing period, which Princeton claimed to have made intentionally, made the final score...
...Monday, November 9, the annual College tournament will begin from which the members of this year's team will be picked. A large number of candidates are expected by Coach Cowles to enter the competition for positions on the squad. Graduation hit last year's national championship team hard by taking W. P. Dixon '25, national individual title holder, and E. M. Upjohn '25. Captain Debevoise and H. N. Rawlins '27, are the only veterans left, but there are several of last year's Freshmen and second team players who will compete for berths on Team A this fall...
There is only one solution, and the Football Giants have partially hit upon it. Football is a tremendously dramatic spectacle, not only in the game itself but in all the trappings as well. The Football Giants will have to go the whole length and bring in all the urchins from the corner lots to do the hard vocal labor. Then, with a leather-lunged cheering section of hired talent, and with hired cheer-leaders and a hired band, the excitement-loving, face can lean back in his seat and really enjoy all the spontaneous pagentry that is football...
...reason the repertory players have the advantage over other actors is that the men and women who take a different type of part each week are in no great danger of making a hit in one part and remaining in that role or roles much like it all his life. An actor who can make himself more bow-legged than Greeley Kelley, or can toe in more than Glenn Hunter, is supposed to be successful; but in reality he is merely grotesque. And he has to stay grotesque all his life. Charlie Chaplin is the only exception...
